It's hard to monitor. There are many countries or stated that have declared independence. But have not been recognised or have been but not by every country. For instance Mont…enegro is still not recognised as a independent country by Pakistan. There maybe many states in the world who have declared Independence but have been ignored. I would say though there was around 15.

Indonesia holds the largest population of M…uslims but at 13% of all Muslims not 30%. 62% live in Asia, 35% in Africa and 2.5% live in Europe/N America.
